Full Venue Hire at aspen & meursault

aspen & meursault is a natural wine bar on Westbridge Road in Battersea from the team behind Diogenes the Dog in Elephant & Castle. The venue layers multiple hireable spaces — a Private Snug with courtyard, a Main Room, and a Terrace — scaling from intimate gatherings of 14 to full venue events of 150 standing. Every private booking comes with a personal sommelier to guide wine selection, turning the wine list from a menu to a curated experience. For events where the drinks programme matters as much as the space itself, aspen & meursault offers something most London venues don’t: genuine wine expertise as a built-in feature of the hire.

The Private Snug and Courtyard

The Snug seats 14 or takes 35 standing, connected to a courtyard that extends the space outdoors. It’s a self-contained area that works for private dinners, wine tastings, small team events, and celebrations where intimacy defines the format. The courtyard adds a useful dimension — summer bookings benefit from the indoor-outdoor flow, while the Snug alone provides a contained, private setting year-round. At this scale, the personal sommelier service is at its most impactful: a guided tasting or paired dinner for 14 guests has a focus and quality that larger events can’t replicate.

Main Room and Terrace

The Main Room seats 40 or accommodates 100 standing, stepping up to a format suited to launch events, larger celebrations, and corporate socials where guests need room to circulate. The Terrace adds further capacity — 30 seated or 80 standing — creating a distinct outdoor zone that can function as a drinks reception area, an extension of the main event, or a separate space with its own atmosphere. For events that benefit from movement between areas, the combination of indoor Main Room and outdoor Terrace gives organisers genuine flexibility in how the evening flows.

Full Venue Hire at aspen & meursault

A full buyout brings everything together: 40 seated or 150 standing across the Snug, Courtyard, Main Room, and Terrace. That’s a significant capacity for a natural wine bar and positions aspen & meursault as a credible option for mid-size events that want atmosphere and a distinctive drinks programme rather than a generic events space. The layered layout means even a 150-person event has variety — guests move between intimate indoor spaces and an open terrace rather than standing in a single room.

Natural Wine and the Sommelier Experience

The wine programme focuses on organic, biodynamic, and low-intervention wines with a sourcing philosophy inherited from Diogenes the Dog — direct producer relationships and a willingness to explore regions beyond the conventional European wine map. The personal sommelier assigned to every private booking is the distinguishing feature: rather than navigating a list alone, guests are guided through selections that match their event format, food, and preferences. A deli and café area adds casual daytime character to the venue, operating alongside the wine bar and contributing to a space that feels like a neighbourhood fixture rather than a single-purpose events hire.

Battersea Location

aspen & meursault is at 96 Westbridge Road, London SW11 3PH, between Battersea Park and Clapham Junction stations. The Battersea location gives it a residential, local quality — guests arrive to a neighbourhood venue rather than a destination, which suits events where warmth and personality matter more than a dramatic entrance.
